Review of Hunter x Hunter
First of all I will just say, the show is amazing! I wanted to watch since long time ago but 148 episodes stop me from it as I though it will take me half a year to finish. And guess what? I finished it in 8 days! 8 days ONLY! The story is amazing but I disagree most of the comment leave by others that say it did everything right or should score 10 as nothing went wrong, but I totally agree it is one of the most amazing anime and I think it can score 10. There will be a little bit of spoiler so stopreading if you don't want to get spoiled.
Let me point out a few thing that is "not doing right" (at least to me) is including:
-Firstly, the training/fighting time vs the actual story time (the impression they trying to show is as if they took a lot of time training but in actual story time it seems lesser). This is especially obvious when the fight in palace in the last arc where they fought for quite long but according to what it said it had only been less than 10 seconds. I can understand some anime slow down when thinking or fighting but I just can't accept they say is only 10 seconds. It is also shown when Bisky training them in greed Island as between Phantom Troupe arc (September) and second hunter test (start of next year) they had been training for quite a while but it seems like that 3 months doesn't quite fit in.
-Second, the strength of all Characters. So at first Gon and Killua seems one of the top few strongest in the test. But when they go for the Heaven Arena above 200 floors it seems that they are so weak as they don't know the real power "nen" yet. (And I am still fine with that) and slowly to Phantom Troupe arc which every one in it are so OP (I can still accept this as we need op opponent to make the show fun) but ant?ANT? An Ant King that beat the shit out of the strongest human? Just how pathetic they trying to show human is?
-Thirdly, some of the pace in the show. Sometimes the pace is slow in term of them showing the walking scene for a while or sometimes too fast that I thought I missed an episode. So two of the best examples are when Pitou and gon walk to "save" Kite (when reaching) the walking scene is a bit too long and another example is in episode 146 when Gon suddenly tell his father that kite became a girl? WTF is my only thought in mind at that moment. I thought I missed an episode and spend about half hour to look back every episodes and even search online. And apparently I didn't miss any.
-Last but not least the time line for each characters. Kurapika is one of them which I thought will be almost everywhere in the show but after phatom troupe arc it didnt appear more than 1 minute(I guess) and a lot other characters like kite that I think will guide them easily dead and never appear until second last episode and Hisako also and Bisky and Ging and ..and ... and... .... there will be no end of list.
But all of you who follow me through please don't get the wrong idea! It is still an amazing show despite having a few "wrong doing". I will simply list a few points only as most of other commend did well in explaining them.
- Each characters have their own special (including ants)
- Story are amazing and almost every episodes kept me entertain
- Fighting scene are amazing considering a 2011 anime
- Feeling are able to reach me strong (like hate in Gon after Kite dead) (Killua and Alluka sad story) etc
- Hisako made the first and third arc amazing (having a villain like him really made the show better than pure villain)
And there are a lot others minor minor points.
So if you haven't watch, please at least spend 2 days to finish hunter test arc before you decide to continue or not.
And before I end PITOU is the best! (If she is not an enermy or never try to fight Gon at last). So Bisky is the best! (If she is not 57 or muscular). Thus, ALUKKA and SOMETHING ARE THE BEST NO DOUBT!
